A new app by Pantone lets you create your own colour palettes

But does it recognize Indian colours?

Ever seen a colour—on patterned upholstery, on an unusual flower or on a colourful painting—and thought to yourself, I need that! If only real life was as easy of Photoshop—pick a colour from where you like, drop a colour to where you like. Well, colour-matching company Pantone, with its new app Pantone Studio, take the business of colour-identification to a whole new level. With it, you can take a photo of the object whose colour has caught your fancy, and receive the RGB, CMYK and HEX codes for each. This translates into a whole new colour palette on your phone, which you’re free to connect to Instagram, or even Photoshop. The app also has a huge library of about 10,000 colours and features a section dedicated to research and trend reports from the Pantone Color Institute.
